Jshiest of fish ptories< doesnf.t it,
at three local youths will vouch for
lie truth of the statement. Cecil

Mi were fishing recently at Horse-

lught a crappie. Just as he was

lecll Ferch took the situation in liana

|908 MODEL BUICK TO
GO ON LONG JOURNEY
Ortonville.—The World's Fair ac
few York next year isn't going to be
surprise to Alec Semrau, a loeai
tutomobile distributor. He's going to
a part of it—with his 1908 Buick,
Tne of the very few Buick automobiles of that vintage in working or-
tter In the country. And what's more,
pe expeeos to drive it to the World's
fair. A familiar sight around »a
Ortonville for many years, "Alec"
bid his 1908 Buick have taken part
jn many a local parade. Always in
perfect running order, it has brought
liack many fond memories to the old-
pimers as it ours around town. Un-
Ber tentative arrangements, Mr. Sem-
pau will drive the 30 year old car
next year from Ortonville through
the Twin Cities, Chicago and thence
to New York City. He will stop to
lisplay the "old timer" along the way
poTIowing the appearance of tlie car

ISTATE IS CHALLENGED TO
BETTER THIS RECORD
Storden.—New champions are being
I discovered every day, but here is one
I whose record is a challenge to thy
(entire state. Simon Oleson began
driving twine binders in the year 1883
the age of twelve years, and he
koperated them every year since
time—a total of 55 years. Al-
»h retired from the farm the
Tst IT years, Mr. Oleson is as ispry
fas a two year old and has made it a
I point to operate a binder every year
ljust tc keep the record going. Now
Ihe challenges anyone in the state to
yient his record. Back in the old
Uays when binders first came into
*ise there were no experts to fix them
rwhen they refused to work. The local
salesman was called and he in turn
usually found It necessary tp call an
expert from the factory. While waiting for the factory man on one such
occasion, Simon fixed the binder, hlt-
■lied the three horses to it and was
kitting grain when the factory man
Arrived. This man told Mr. Olespn's
father, "keep that boy on the binder"
and as a result Simon was the "binder doctor" for years in the community of Holstein, Ia. Twine binders may have come into use a year
or so before 1883, but if there's a man
who ha* cut grain with them every
year for more than 55 years, ilr.
Oleson would like to hear from him.
JEWELER GIVEN FOUR YEARS
TO REPAIR A WATCH
Luverne.—After lying idle in a repair shop for the last four years, a
erlst watch belonging to Don Sol-
who now resides in California,
returned to him last week when
rrived for a short visit. When
Solberg left Luverne four years
he forgot his wrist watch and had
jt remembered it since. Upon passing the local jewelry store however,
it suddenly dawned upon him thai
once upon a time he had owned a
■wrist watch and left it in the shop
for repairs. "Hmm," cogitated Mr.
SftlbecJ "I wonder if it's done yet?"
|Vrhe jeweler assured him that the
time-pice was done—and had been
for four years.

TO THE

We wish to thank the people of this community and the surrounding country for their
kind patronage during all these years we have
been in business in Pine River. Especially do
we remember, at this time, the many friends

Developments in Washington, resulting in more liberal allotments for
rural electrification in Cass and Crow
Wing counties have made current for
farmers in this vicinity a possibility
depending only upon the attitude 01
tne farmers themselves.
The government has allotted four
hundred thousand dollars for the
construction of rural lines in the
"Second District" which comprises
Cass and Crow Wing counties an*
some other adjacent territory. Over
one hundred twenty-five miles 01
line is proposed or under construction, and 275 miles are to be developed this month. From 50 to 100
miles will be developed in the vicinity of Pine River, the amount depending upon the response of the
farmers.
While no specific date for turning
on the current can be determined at
the present time, it is true that
prompt action by the farmers in
signing up will greatly hasten the allocation of funds to each individual
line and the beginning of actual construction work. As far as the government is concerned, construction
work could be started this week.
The R. E. A. is waiting for the farmers to say "We will take current'
and sign the contracts.
On Friday evening, Mr. Ditlow,
who has been sent to this area by the
Washington office of the R. E. A.,
will address a meeting in the gymnasium of the local school. All persons interested in Rural Electrification are invited to attend. Several
musical numbers have been planned
for the program and an opportunity^
to sign the contracts will be afrj
ed.

The government has allotted four
hundred thousand dollars for the
construction of rural lines in the
"Second District" which comprises
Cass and Crow Wing counties an*
some other adjacent territory. Over
one hundred twenty-five miles 01
line is proposed or under construction, and 275 miles are to be developed this month. From 50 to 100
miles will be developed in the vicinity of Pine River, the amount depending upon the response of the
farmers.
While no specific date for turning
on the current can be determined at
the present time, it is true that
prompt action by the farmers in
signing up will greatly hasten the allocation of funds to each individual
line and the beginning of actual construction work. As far as the government is concerned, construction
work could be started this week.
The R. E. A. is waiting for the farmers to say "We will take current'
and sign the contracts.
On Friday evening, Mr. Ditlow,
who has been sent to this area by the
Washington office of the R. E. A.,
will address a meeting in the gymnasium of the local school. All persons interested in Rural Electrification are invited to attend. Several
musical numbers have been planned
for the program and an opportunity^
to sign the contracts will be afrj
